[PATCH v6 13/21] KVM: arm64: Allow userspace to configure a vCPU's virtual offset

Oliver Upton oupton at google.com
Wed Aug 4 01:58:11 PDT 2021


Allow userspace to access the guest's virtual counter-timer offset
through the ONE_REG interface. The value read or written is defined to
be an offset from the guest's physical counter-timer. Add some
documentation to clarify how a VMM should use this and the existing
CNTVCT_EL0.
